Texique® Lux5

Texique Lux5 is a 100% naturally derived silicone free, quick spreading light emollient for personal care applications, providing many of the sensory properties of low viscosity silicones.

Texique Lux5 will enhance the aesthetics of a wide range of cosmetics and toiletries, helps to disperse many commonly used organic UV filters, and aids with dispersion of pigments in colour cosmetics leading to smoother application and lighter skin feel.
